Chapter 469 The cruel format of the finals

With the arrival of Shang Xingyue, Mo Yu decisively abandoned Zhang Zhaoyang, and his work in the company was suspended, and he watched the game with his girlfriend.

Inside the Competition Center.

The whole place was full.

The opening ceremony before the finals is being held on the stage.

First, a special promotional video for this year's MSI was played. Well-known players from the five major regions turned into heroes and fought in the city.

Immediately after the lights dimmed, the 3D projection equipment on the stage released the dancing figures of several female heroes such as Fox, Akali, and Moon in the center. In addition, there were not only female heroes, but also male heroes.

Garen, Barbarian King, Noshou, and Yasuo all showed off their dancing skills.

The whole audience burst into laughter.

More than a minute later, the projection went out, and the place first fell into darkness. Then several figures made of light lines appeared dancing in the dark night. They were actors wearing special fluorescent dance costumes performing. Only one figure could be seen in the darkness. A figure that looks like a stick figure is dancing, giving it a unique sci-fi aesthetic.

Until the end.

The lights are bright!

Only then did the audience clearly see the figures of the stick figure dancers. Behind them, the professional COS team had already set up their poses. They were just waiting for the music to start and the relay started immediately.

Compared with the opening ceremony of the S game, although the opening ceremony of MSI was simple, it also took a lot of thought.

The whole performance lasted about 25 minutes, and finally everyone left the stage after the lights went out.

The stage fell into darkness for less than three seconds.

Then the dull and heavy music slowly sounded, and the listener felt as if he was on an extremely dangerous battlefield, and also felt that a terrible storm was about to be released!

Suddenly a beam of light cut through the darkness and fell from the sky.

Wherever the light shines, a silver trophy slowly rises from the front of the stage, bathed in light!

A heavy treasure is born!

The MSI championship trophy, the crystal cup, painstakingly crafted by jewelry manufacturer Zhou Fook, makes its debut!

Under the light, the silver cup body reflected extremely bright white light, attracting the attention of everyone in the room!

"Wow~"

The whole audience was amazed.

In the private room at the top of the stands.

Shang Xingyue was full of amazement: "This trophy is so beautiful, the silver light is shining, especially under the spotlight, it is so bright that it is even a bit dazzling. What material is it made of?"

Women are naturally immune to shiny things, and she was the same. Looking at the crystal cup on the stage, stars seemed to pop out of her eyes.

"The main body is silver, and the reason why people feel bright is mostly due to the light." Mo Yu stood beside him and explained to her: "It's the same reason as those in jewelry display counters. Generally, jewelry stores are brighter than other jewelry stores. The lights in the store are brighter, especially on the counter. After looking at them for a long time, your eyes may even feel a little tired and dazzling. In fact, this is because the jewelry will make people feel sparkling and eye-catching under the bright lights, but when you take it from the counter When you go out to a dark place, you will find that the brightness is not that high.”

"Furthermore, silver itself is a metal with a very high reflectivity. The stage floor where the trophies are placed has been specially replaced with a white background base. Coupled with the effect of the spotlight, all combined to create this shiny effect. The effect.”

"I see."

Shang Xingyue suddenly realized it, changed the subject, and stared at him, fierce but also a little cute: "My wedding ring will also have to be brighter by then, you know?"

Mo Yu immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, buy whatever you want!"

"That's pretty much it!"

"The audience at the scene and in front of the screen, welcome to the finals of the 2009 GAG Mid-Season Championship. After several rounds of fierce competition, the teams that finally made it to the MSI finals are-LGD!"

"FNC!"

"SKT!"

The top teams from China, South Korea and Europe slowly walked out from the backstage and stood in front of the stage to receive warm cheers from fans.

They raised their hands and waved to the audience.

The cheers in the audience became even louder, and the audience seemed to be going crazy!

The contestants on the stage seemed to be infected by this enthusiastic and crazy emotion, and at this moment, they all seemed to become sacred.

After introducing the contestants, Tian Weiwei faced the camera.

"The rules of this MSI final are as follows. Starting at 9 a.m. today, each team will compete with the other two teams in a single round-robin BO5. One game will be played every half day. If there is no winner after the game, it will be The BO1 round-robin match will continue at 10 a.m. on Sunday, and there will be no rest time until the winner is determined."

As Tian Weiwei announced the rules for the finals, the commentators were analyzing the difficulties under this rule.

On the commentary desk.

Responsible for the commentary of the first game is still the gold medal commentary team Doll Miller and Xiao Cang.

Wawa explained: "Maybe the audience is a little confused about the rules of today's finals. The official reason for this is mainly because there are odd-numbered teams entering MSI this year, so it is different from previous games where there were only two teams at the end. This time There were three teams in the finals.”

"That's right." Miller continued: "That's why this situation will happen in the finals. To put it simply, the three teams will play BO5 against each other. Since there may be a situation of 1 win and 1 loss, it will happen. There will be extra rounds, and the extra rounds will be BO1 until the winner is decided."

Xiao Cang continued: "Under this rule, it is a huge test for every team. The first round is the first round. Each team has to play two games. In the worst case, it will be 10 games a day."

"In order to maintain the competitive state of the players, players often try to reduce their food intake before the game, so this competition system is a huge challenge to the players' physical strength, endurance, and endurance."

"If it goes into the playoffs, it will be even harder."

"Always BO1 is a test not only for the players themselves, but also for the team's tactical reserves. Whoever has more tactical reserves will be most likely to win!"

"What if, I mean what if a dramatic situation like that really happens? If we keep fighting, we might have to fight from morning to night before we can decide the outcome."

With the explanations of the three commentators, all viewers knew the cruelty of this year's MSI.

Frequent competitions are a huge test on the physical condition of the players. It may be okay at the beginning, but the further you go, the more likely you will make mistakes. In the end, it may become a matter of whoever makes fewer mistakes will win.

Mo Yu also had a headache about this.

The main reason is that this year's MSI has an odd number of teams and it is difficult to arrange the competition system. This is why this difficult and strange competition system finally emerged.

This competition system is too stressful for the players. He just hopes that tragedies like Brother Crystal in his previous life will not happen.

Fortunately, as far as he knew, all the players from the three teams were very healthy and had no injuries. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to say.

However, this may only happen once.

GAG is becoming more and more popular now. Agents from many countries are already contacting Moyu Games to obtain the agency rights of GAG. If all negotiations are completed and local leagues are established as soon as possible, a wild card division will appear next year.

By that time, the situation of odd-numbered teams this year will be avoided, and there will be no cruel competition system like this year again.

After all, under this competition system, there is really too much pressure on the players.

Many people think that e-sports players just sit in front of the computer and play games, which is very relaxing.

But in fact, competitions are different from games. Every minute and every second of decision-making and grasp of the battle situation require full concentration, high concentration, and constant calculation for everyone in the team. Observing the situation on the field, it is definitely not what outsiders look like holding the mouse and keyboard and playing games happily and easily.

For players, every game is a huge test for the brain, body, and spirit.

When players play a game, not only do they have to concentrate mentally, but their bodies will also be in a state of tension, and they must concentrate on the operation.

If he just lay there lazily like he usually does when playing games, there would be no injuries.

This wave is my fault. It was not arranged before, so the competition system is a bit nondescript. I didn't take this situation into consideration. I'm sorry. I originally wanted to change it, but all the previous articles were locked and I had to find an editor to unlock it. Moreover, if I wanted to change the competition system, the recent MSI plot would have to be changed. It was too troublesome, so I’ll leave it at that and learn from my lesson next time.
